After building a Flite Test foam plane, I want to create sailplane from a balsa kit. For this kit I need some weights and because I have many euro cents, I had the idea to create a parametric box, where I can set the coin diameter, the height of the chamber(s) for the stacked coins and the number of chambers. Now, I have enough weights to start with the balsa kit.
And maybe, there is someone else, who needs some weights or maybe these boxes for another purpose, like a silver coin compartment.
You can use the OpenSCAD file to customize your own weights or compartments with your currency. All parameters have a detailed description.
Update

Step 1 Insert Coin
Insert all the coins and leave min. 2mm space at the top for the lid.
Step 2 Close the Box
Press the lid on top of the box. This is a really tight fit! So you should level the lid in parallel with the top of the box and press it down. This may take some force and I have no idea, how to remove the lid.
